설렁탕

Seolleongtang (설렁탕)

Name: Seolleongtang (설렁탕)
Cuisine: Korean
Ingredients: ox bones or knuckle; brisket optional; scallion; salt; pepper; kkakdugi

Milky ox-bone broth — all-day simmer, salt at the table, kimchi on the side.

0 Heat: none Vegetarian: no

White means long simmer

Blanch bones, rinse, then simmer hours until the broth turns opaque. Slice brisket thin if you use it. Salt and pepper live at the table so each bowl stays custom. Eat with radish kimchi 깍두기, not a chili dump in the pot. This is Seoul’s quiet prestige soup.

Abroad

Buy frozen bone packs if butchers shrug. Pressure-cooker shortcuts work for opacity; taste still wants time. Do not confuse with spicy 육개장 — different grammar.
